The victim has been identified as Joseph Obryan Mc Aulay, 29, a former resident of Kingston Street, Victoria, East Coast Demerara, who was residing in Pedeck French Guiana for the past six years.

According to reports, Mc Aulay, who painted boats in the French speaking territory for a living, was partying with a friend when another friend got into a fight. The Guyanese intervened.

Reports are that ‘Obryan’ and a friend left the party on motor bike when a car drove up with several men and one of them shot him once in the stomach before driving off.

The men in the car were identified as being part of the group involved in the fight that Obryan was the peacemaker for. An ambulance was summoned and the man was rushed to the hospital but was however pronounced dead on arrival.
